They added 161 runs for the third wicket to put India on the brinks of victory. Although Ishan got out after a well made 93, Iyer remained unbeaten on 113 to the team through with 25 balls to spare.
“Really happy with the way we contributed as a team”- Ishan Kishan reacts to India’s convincing victory
Ishan Kishan was happy with his contribution with the bat as India bounced back to level the three-match series. He also opened up that fans asked him to hit a century while fielding near the boundary in the first innings.
Speaking at the post-match presentation, Ishan stated:
“Really happy with the way we contributed as a team. It is my home ground and there were too many people watching. When I was fielding they were asking me to get a hundred today. Unfortunately I couldn’t but in the next game, I’ll give my best again.”Ā
